The Chiefs have replaced the Stormers in the top eight following a convincing 59-8 bonus-point win over the Rebels in Melbourne on Friday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The result moves the Chiefs up to sixth in the overall table at the expense of the Stormers who provisionally drop out of the top eight. The Cape side, though, remain in contention for a quarter-final berth as they still have to play on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n A second consecutive humiliating defeat for the Rebels means their season is over and only one Australian side, the Brumbies, will compete in the playoffs.<\/span><\/p>\n Notwithstanding their 66-point loss to the Crusaders last week, the Rebels were still in with a chance of progressing to the knockout stage of competition. But in this crunch game with a quarter-final at stake, the Melbourne-based side completely capitulated.<\/span><\/p>\n Three errors by the Rebels \u2013 including two poorly executed kicks by Quade Cooper \u2013 led to three easy tries for the visitors, who took a handy 21-3 lead into the break.<\/span><\/p>\n The visitors continued their stranglehold on proceedings in the second half, as the Rebels defence leaked a further six tries, with wing Shaun Stevenson completing a hat-trick. In return, the Chiefs only conceded a single five-pointer.<\/span><\/p>\n Much-like the Highlanders,\u00a0the Chiefs will now anxiously wait for the results of two South African derbies which will ultimately determine the final make-up of top eight and quarter-final lineup.<\/span><\/p>\n Rebels \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Try<\/strong>: Matt Philip Chiefs \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Tries<\/strong>: Sam Cane, Shaun Stevenson (3), Lachlan Boshier, Sean Wainui, Anton Lienert-Brown, Jack Debreczeni, Marty McKenzie.
